Revised images with the pavement kerb corrected and internal lighting reduced.
The first image is lit with an HDRI.In order to get a good quality light from an HDRI,you need to use quite a large size image.this one is 120mb.you can use a smaller size and increase the multiplier but you will not get the same quality.
-
that second image is fantastically lit. one of the most realistic sunset lighting ive ever seen. the only thing that lets it down is the low poly cars, the houses are totally believable
-
Yes. And the fact that the cars don't have license plates. That's a dead give-away that it's a render. And of course the perfect angle of the photograph... you're standing in the middle of the road; that's plain dangerous!
-
Some states/provinces/principalities/whatever, may not require front plates on vehicles.
-
I see now that you had 'm at first on the VW's but not on the Volvo, and I remember at the time when seeing the first picture, I was wondering 'why does the volvo look so unnatural'. Now I know. The Volvo looks naked without a license plates. The VW's however, do not, since the model is designed to look good with or without them. Also, the metallic band helps.
-
In the UK both front and rear plates are mandatory.Front plates white and rear yellow.
-
When I studied in Pennsylvania, there front plates were not required (but you were only allowed to park you car with the rear out to the street in a parking lot).

Very Impressive! Nice attention to detail and the lighting
is just fantastic.Paul

@ Davidh: when I try HDRI for my renderings,I can't control the size and position of it,so I can't control the reflection,backgrond and shadow in my renders.Do you have any tricks of using HDRI?or just drop HDRI map into GI and Background.
Hope you can help

When I am trying to locate the HDRI into position,what I normally do is load the HDRI and then hide all parts of the model,then render at about 640x420.because no geometry is being rendered,it takes very little time to render,normally 10 -20 seconds, and you can see straight away if you have to rotate it.Regarding shadows,you will only get strong shadows if you have a bright spot in the HDRI.As I said before,in order to get a good quality light from an HDRI,you need to use quite a large size image.You can use a smaller size and increase the multiplier but you will not get the same quality.
I normally use a HDRI for lighting at dusk shots.If you are using a HDRI for a dusk/early night shot it is good to get one that has a blue tinge to it,as even when it is totally dark,the sky colour is blue,not black.
(I have uploaded the image with car plates added)

Really looking good. Lighting spot on. Just a little bit of dirt (especially to the road and footpath) and you'd have nailed it totally.

There's always something more to make it even more realistic...
I think it's great already! -
